The Adventures of Samuel Oliver – a new illustrated children’s book series!

[image error]

I loved working on this series with ABDO Publishing and incredibly talented artist Geraldine Rodriguez.

Set during the Great War, the Adventures of Samuel Oliver series follows Samuel Oliver. Born into the dangerous family business of deep sea diving, Samuel seeks to prove himself to his father and uncle amidst a backdrop of mystery, suspense, and danger.

Quotes by Taylor Zajonc (?)

“Where there is life, there is hope . . . as long as man’s heart beats, as long as a man’s flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.”
― Taylor Zajonc, The Maw

“We make our decisions with the same primitive processes as every other upright ape—anger, sexual fixation, self-involvement, no ability to separate fact from opinion or superstition. Our collective decisions will ripple for millennia, and yet our leadership cannot think past the next election cycle, the next fiscal quarter.”
― Taylor Zajonc, The Maw

“Because the eye has seen, thoughts are structured upon images and not upon ideas. —DAVID CONSUEGRA (1939–2004)”
